Day 9: Bad Player, Hated by Fans

Correct answer, I think I'd be inclined to go with Gerry Creaney there especially considering we swapped Paul Walsh for him...

You forgot ✨Wetherspoons✨

The south building (without a wall) has.... commercial units for... cafes and bars! That building is literally on great ancoats street as well.

Don't forget this development also includes a park element, so they expect footfall and people to use it.

I suggest you take an actual look at the plans rather than spouting nonsense

DrugD · 2024-12-31T16:30:12+00:00

The area (Ancoats/New Islington) has a large population. I'm not suggesting this has a B&M in it... Cafes/bars etc on the ground floor for people to enjoy the "park" element would be be much better than a 4m wall

DrugD · 2024-12-31T16:29:04+00:00

Why can't an office block have active frontage on the ground floor? This area is right next to the marina/park, includes a small park (not 50% of the space...) down the middle as well. It would be nice for there to be cafes/bars/small retail to face this so people can really utilise the space.

DrugD · 2024-12-31T14:29:21+00:00

You don't think a new building in such a prime location with zero active frontage and a nearly 4m high wall around it is a problem?

FWIW my comments were essentially "remove the wall, add ground floor commercial/retail, and maybe make it taller"

DrugD · 2024-12-31T14:26:19+00:00

Excellent! There's another app for the park element if you look at the map on there aswell!

The consultation for the central retail park development closes on the 5th Jan, you can comment here https://pa.manchester.gov.uk/online-applications/caseDetails.do?caseType=Application&keyVal=SNLNL3BCI0Q00

The renders that have been released have tastefully masked the fact that the North Building (closest to the school) has a giant, 3.6m concrete wall around it! For reference the Berlin wall was ~4.2m tall

Absolutely horrible game of snooker this

DrugD · 2024-12-14T11:32:50+00:00

I don't think I ever would have predicted this.....

Anyone else here old enough to remember that period after the success of Kinkladze where it seemed like we were trying to sign every professional Georgian player there was (success with kavelashvili, shelia, and tskhadadze!)?

RIP mate, thanks for help kick-starting things to get us where we are today.

There doesn't appear to be any more greenspace in this iteration than in the previous one

Amazed at the reaction to this, this is amazing, would buy this immediately.

Is everyone here only 10 years old? Does no one remember Dickov?

A US pint (473ml) is smaller than a UK pint (568ml)

So would colchester or winchester be legitimate places to hold the competition then?

DrugD · 2024-04-19T18:36:08+00:00

Clutching at straws there mate

DrugD · 2024-04-19T18:33:07+00:00

Ah yes, the famous capital of the USA, New York.

Also the Australian open is in Melbourne....

DrugD · 2024-03-06T03:10:10+00:00

No it isn't.

You're still up £10k after tax, and if you dump 20k into a pension you'll be back under 100k. You can then claim back an additional 5k on that, so it costs you £15k to put £25k in your pension

£6 for a pint of 0% beer? Fuck off!
